KRCUatSoutheast Missouri State University includes three stations that provide news and music programming to nearly 1.9 million people in its service regions of Southeast Missouri, Southern Illinois and the Parkland.

It signed on with 10 watts of power as a student-run college station in March 1976. In 1981 it increased power to 100 watts, and in 1988 it began transitioning to a public radio format. In November 1990, KRCU became an NPR member station. In 1992 KRCU increased power again, to 6,000 watts. It has since increased to 6,500 watts, allowing the signal to be heard within a 50 mile radius.

KRCU has two repeater stations: KSEF and KDMC-FM. KSEF 88.9 FM is located in Farmington, Missouri and is a 20,000 watt station. KSEF's signal covers Farmington, Park Hills, Ste.
